What are these reports?

These reports contain results of student assessments of instructors at the University for the term selected. They summarize students' responses to eight standard items contained within the assessment instrument.

For each course or class section listed, the percent of students reporting Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, or Poor for each item are shown.

In addition, the following course information is provided: Department, Course Title and Number, Section Number, Instructor Name, Semester and Year, and Course Enrollment.

When interpreting these data, please consider the factors that may influence outcomes. For example, if not enough students responded to provide an adequate representation of all students enrolled in a class, the data will be less meaningful.

Which courses were evaluated?

These reports include undergraduate and graduate courses taught during the term selected. Most courses or class sections offered at FSU are required to conduct evaluations. However, evaluations are optional for the following: a. Courses or class sections involving types of instruction that occur outside of traditional classroom and/or laboratory settings for which these assessment items would not be appropriate b. Courses with fewer than ten students
